About The Artist

Artist Statement

If I were to simplify my artistic process, I would say the most important element for any image I capture is how the available light is falling on the subject. Subject matter, well, matters, but where and how the light is enveloping the subject is what brings tension, interest, and beauty to the final product. I am an active participant in every aspect of my photography: I envision and constantly search for imagery. With decades of craft at my disposal, I capture the image using my full complement of gear. I edit, proof, and print my work using archival inks and paper. And, as importantly as the rest, I design, frame, and hang the final image.

Biography

Hi there… My name is John Andrew Murphy a.k.a. Johnny Murph, Murph, or just plain jam. I answer to any and all. I am a people and places photographer located in Marin County. My creative journey started with my sense of sound and the ensuing lessons on how to read music and play a tune. As a teenager of the 80’s, my heros were guitar players – Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, Jerry Garcia – and my bedroom walls were adorned with poster size images of these musicians. Years later, I got a Canon film camera for Christmas, and I realized immediately that my sense of sight brought me as much joy and wonder as strumming my six string. And that is where I am today creatively – strumming chords and clicking shutters.

Still photographs play an essential role in all of our lives, and I work to make those images the best and longest lasting they can be. I am all about quality and service, whether I am capturing family memories, coaching a sitter for a professional headshot, or printing a client’s past and present family memories. And if you are looking for some beautiful, mostly local images for your home or business, be sure to visit my website http://www.johnandrewmurphy.com.
